Scramble Rules

Format
18-hole four-person scramble tournament

RULES OF PLAY

  • All four team members tee off on each hole.
  • To prevent slow play, the maximum score per hole should not exceed a double-bogey. Teams are expected to pick up and move to next hole.
  • Team members decide which tee shot is best and mark the spot with a tee or ball marker.
  • Each team member hits his or her next shot from within one club length (no closer to the hole) of the marked spot.
  • If less than four players on a team, players rotate extra shot.
  • This procedure is followed on every shot for the remainder of the hole, including putts.
  • Putts need to be made within 3 inches of  the marked spot (no closer to the hole).
  • The first ball to go in the hole is counted for the team score.
  • If the ball you choose to play is in a hazard (sand, water, etc.), the rough, or out of bounds, you cannot drop the ball outside of the hazard or rough even if relief is within one club length.
  • Each player must count at least 2 tee shots. MARK THESE ON YOUR SCORECARDS.
  • Teams must mark one score only on the scorecard. In addition, mark which team member’s tee shot was used on each hole.
  • Men tee off from the white tees and women from the red tees.
  • All rulings, including ties, are made by the Event Referee and are final.


MULLIGANS

  • Mulligans can be used for any golf shot during hole play.
  • Mulligans CANNOT count toward contest hole prizes (longest drive, etc.).
  • Mulligans are taken after all players have taken their shots, and must replace that player’s original shot.
  • Only one mulligan per lie per player.
